A little later Fuselli woke with a choked nightmare cry. He had
dreamed that he had smashed the O.D. in the jaw and had broken out
of the jug and was running, breathless, stumbling, falling, while
the company on guard chased him down an avenue lined with little
dried-up saplings, gaining on him, while with voices metallic as
the clicking of rifle triggers officers shouted orders, so that he
was certain to be caught, certain to be shot. He shook himself all
over, shaking off the nightmare as a dog shakes off water, and went
back to sleep again, snuggling into his blankets.

A colourful, multi-facted chronicle of New York in the early 1920s, Manhattan Transfer ranks with Joyce's Ulysses as a powerful and often lyrical meditation on the modern city. Using experimental montage and collage techniques borrowed from the cinema, and the jumbled case histories of a picaresque range of characters from dockside crapshooters to high-society flappers, Dos Passos constructs a brilliant picture of New York City as a great futuristic machine filled with motion, drama and human tragedy.

One of the great figures of modern French literature. Swiss-born in
1887, but French to the core in spirit, Cendrars roamed the world
for many years, a restless seeker who made life an adventure and
his novels and poems the record of a never-satisfied appetite for
human experience. As a young man he reached the Orient across
Russia, and "The Transsiberian," one of his finest long poems is
included in this volume. Over the years, a number of Cendrars'
works were translated into English--early among them, in 1931, John
Dos Passos' brilliant version of "Panama, or the Adventures of My
Seven Uncles" (reprinted in this collection)--but all are now out
of print here, so that this selection from the whole range of
Cendrars is most timely. It has been prepared by Professor Walter
Albert of Brandeis University, whose long introductory essay is the
most detailed biographical and critical study of Cendrars now
available in English. While the greater part of the selection is
concentrated on Cendrars' poetry (with the French text printed en
face), there are also representative excerpts from the major novels
and other prose books, as well as several essays, including
impressions of Chagall and Picasso.
